West Virginia Rentals By Owner

For a state that is 80% covered in forests, there’s no doubt that West Virginia is an outdoor-lovers premier vacation rental site. The Mountain State got its name from the fact that it is located entirely within the Appalachian Mountain Range – the whole state is mountainous. What this means for a West Virginia vacation rental is many opportunities to go hiking, rock climbing, caving, and white water rafting!
 
West Virginia isn’t all rough and rugged mountains, though. The state offers up some fine resorts and spas such as Snowshoe and The Greenbrier. The Greenbrier was actually used in the past as a secret hideout for United States Presidents during crisis situations. And for golf fans, Wheeling, West Virginia offers up a golf course designed by the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer. While in Wheeling, if you’re feeling lucky, place your bets at the Wheeling Island Casino, Hotel, and Racetrack – it is home to greyhound racing and slot machines.
 
For West Virginia’s most popular tourist destination, be sure and visit Harpers Ferry – it’s the site where abolitionist John Brown led an attempted raid against a national armory and is commemorated in Harpers Ferry National Park. And to honor a more upbeat native West Virginian, stop by Mary Lou Retton Park in Fairmont, West Virginia. Fairmont also offers up Valley Worlds of Fun, which is home to miniature golf, bowling, bumper cars, climbing walls, and a full-size maze.
 
So whether you’re standing in Bluefield, the most elevated town in West Virginia, or walking in Charleston on Summers Street, the first brick street in the whole world, look around at everything West Virginia offers and be thankful for your West Virginia vacation rental.
